This is not an original idea with me. My principal told me about his family
doing this and I decided that I wanted to incorporate it into my life.

So let’s start with a question… What do YOU do with all of those Christmas
cards that you receive? I used to just keep them and throw them away after so
long. I did keep the picture cards or the pictures that were in the cards, but I
never kept the actual cards themselves.

My principal’s family would collect all of the cards that were
sent to them and put them into a basket. Then for the rest of the year, they
would take time during their family devotions to pull a set amount of cards out
of the basket. During the time of prayer they would pray for the individuals or
families that had sent the card.

What a great way to remember to pray for people who you have been
in your life and remembered you at the this special time of year. Another idea
is to write inside the card when you prayed for them or a special request
concerning them.

So grab a basket put those pretty cards and pictures in it and your
devotional Bible. And be prepared for a blessing of praying for others.
